This action has'been-initiated"by the"Planning and-zoning Commission of the
City ofCollegeStation~'"(82~132]
Asst. Director of Planning Callaway presented the item. He stated that on
July I, 1982, the.Planning and Zoning Commission directed the city staff to
initiate rezoning of the .area. This area includes four tracts which are
currently zoned A-P Administrative Professional and C-l General Commercial.
The City Council previously approved the rezoning with the stipulation that
the Mayor ~ould not sign the rezoning ordinance until a 25 ft. setback was
provided for along the common boundary with the Bernadine Estates
Subdivision. The stipulation was upheld. The PZ Commission considered a
petition from residents of the Bernadine Estates Subdivision. In the
petition, the residents cited oppo'si tionto a proposed commercial
developement in that area and requested that the Commission initiate
rezoning of this area to a residential classification. The Commission
requested land use recommendations for the area and appointed a committee
to work with the staff. He indicated that the City Secretary has received
a protest in opposition to this action, said protest being signed bv the
owner of more than 20%. of the area involved.
A favorable vote of three-fourths of all members 0:1: t:.he Council
(/ will be necessary for this rezoning.
Mayor Halter opened the public hearing.

zoning.
John Hainey, owner of the tract" spoke in opposition to the rezoning. He
stated that he hadpurchasedthis' property to develop a business and has
completed the site plans for i t'~~hen lhe found out the problem with this
tract. He stated that he did not want to build a project on the tract with
neighborhood opposition and would be willing to work with the residents in
this area.
Councilman Nemec asked if having two zones on this tract would cause access
problems to each zone.
Mr. Hainey stated that the PZ Commission requested that one driveway be
allowed into the area and further access be constructed within the project.
Dale Stringellow, employed by the Jett Property Management, stated that he
represented the prospective buyer of this property. He stated that the
buyer has developed a compatible use plan for this area which would not

Jack Burke, Real Estate representive from Payless Cashway, Inc. of Kansas
City, Mo., presented pictures similar to a proposed plan of construction
for this area. He stated that his company will be developing a lumber yard
and warehouse facility, and answered questions about the project.
Mayor Halter suggested tabling the item and trying to negotiate a
compromise with area residents and the owners of this tract.
Gail Griffin stated that she objected to noise this business will cause and
to the growth of traffic in the area. She also stated that if the owner
resells the 'property to another in~ividual, another unfavorable development
may occur. ~
Les Palmer stated that he has been working with Mr. Hainey on this project.
He stated that the Comprehensive Plan indicates that commercial areas
should be located at points where high vehicular access occur, such as this
property.
After further discussion of Bernadine Estates, Marilyn Davis stated that
she felt the residents were not the cause of this problem because when they
bought there, the property on both sides was zoned R-I. She explained why
she believes that the residents had more to lose than the businesses.
Mr. Hainey stated that he would be willing to give the residents on Mile
Drive the 25ft. setback required previously for a setback, if doing so
would be legally allowed.
City Attorney Denton stated that the owners still controlled the 25 feet
even though it is a setback anQ could grant the land to the residents.
When no one else spoke, Mayor Ha~terlclosed the public hearing.
Councilman Ringer asked Director of Capital Improvements Ash what the
traffic situation would be if the tract remained a commercial zone.
Director of Capital Improvements Ash replied that without seeing a site
plan for the area it would be hard to determine. He stated that probably
only one access point would be granted along Texas Avenue.
Agenda Item No. 5 - Consideration of an Ordinance rezoning the above tract.
After discussion by the council, Councilman Runnels moved to approve

Pz. Since project plans have changed, he suggested. that the new owner

Mayor Halter stated that he felt an agreement could be worked out between
the owner and the residents of Mile Drive since it has been done before.
He would not support an increased density of zoning for this tract.
Councilman Ringer asked if the Council could control a site plan on the
basis of its usage of development.
City Planner Mayo stated that the City Attorney would have to answer the
question but he felt this could cause problems if the council voted on a
site plan based on what is built there.
Councilman Jones asked if an area could be zoned with a conditional use

Mayor Halter pointed out that the paved street located in front of Ms.
Jeil!kin's property was paid for by the city and not assessed to the property
owners. He felt paying for the street.. improvements in this area could
compensate for Ms. Jerkin's property loss. He stated that street
improvements usually increase property assessment.
City Attorney Denton stated that Ms. Jerkin's assessed value of the land
and interest rate was probably too high in the letter which addressed the
council. He stated that damage to a piece of property is not valid after 2
years and~~herefore felt the city should not include any damage costs in a
settlement. He suggested the council allow him to determine a calculated
settlement cost and present it to Ms. Jer~ins at a later date. If Ms.
Jenkins is riot satisfied with the settlement, she may appeal.
Councilman Jones stated that he would like for the council to be informed
what the settlement figure will be at that time.
City Planner Mayo recommended ~hat no parking variances be granted within
the designated boundaries of the Northgate area until a committee can
7---
review the area and make final.'recornmendation.The designated boundaries
will be University Drive on the south, Wellborn Road on the west, city
limits on the north, and College Avenue on the east.
City Attorney stated that he felt it was necessary that the policy be valid
for a set period of time.
Councilman Ringer moved to adopt the policy statement to be valid for a
period of 12 months to allow a committee to review the area and problems.
Councilman Runnels seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
Councilman Prause asked that people who are interested in serving on this
cornmitee fill out applications in the council office. The council will
